(Bloomberg) Two decades ago, Richard Kinder helped start a craze for reorganizing big U.S. companies so they're exempt from the corporate income tax. Today, he said he's through with the idea.
Kinder disclosed plans to buy up two companies he controls, known as master limited partnerships, for a combined $44 billion, consolidating his oil and natural gas pipeline empire under a single, taxable corporation known as Kinder Morgan Inc. The change will reduce investor payouts, leaving heft to beat rivals on new projects or buy them up, he said.
The rest of corporate America is going the other direction. Everyone from phone companies to container-board makers are exploring ways to organize parts of their business outside the corporate income tax system, using MLPs or another tax-advantaged format known as a real estate investment trust. Low interest rates have fueled demand for high-yielding investments and Kinder's partnerships are among the highest.
In a way, Kinder, whose stake in Kinder Morgan made him Houston's richest man, may be a victim of his own success—which may also explain why he says few other companies are likely to follow his lead this time.
"Let me just say, this is in no way a swipe at MLPs in general," Kinder said today on a conference call with analysts to explain his plans. "We had a unique confluence of factors here."
Double Taxes
Investors in U.S. corporations typically face two levels of tax: first the corporation pays tax on any profits it earns, then shareholders pay tax again on any dividends or capital gains from their investment. Partnerships skip the corporate level of taxation by making the investors responsible for their share of companies' earnings.
MLPs are large partnerships that trade on exchanges, like stocks, and typically own assets like pipelines, oil wells or fuel terminals. They distribute most of their earnings to their investors each year, making them attractive to individuals looking for steady income. They typically have no employees and pay another company to manage their affairs for a fee.
To encourage profitable managers, MLPs typically promise to boost management fees to the extent their own investors' cash distributions increase.
Over the years, Kinder's MLPs have raised distributions time and again, leading Kinder Morgan to get a bigger and bigger slice of their cash flows in the form of management fees. Since Kinder Morgan is a corporation, that means that about half of the cash generated by the partnerships ended up flowing to the parent, where it was taxed anyway.
Lower Fees
"It's not like we are going from a zero tax structure to a 100 percent tax structure," Kinder said on the call today. "We're going from 50 percent to a 100 percent."
Many of Kinder Morgan MLPs' peers have lower management fees, or don't face taxation at the management company level, or both. Houston-based Enterprise Products Partners LP stopped paying those fees altogether in 2010, when it acquired its management company; Enbridge Energy Partners LP, also based in Houston, will pay about 18 percent in fees this year, Morgan Stanley estimated in a research note yesterday.
Considering other factors that made the MLPs less financially efficient, and the complexity of managing all the different entities, Kinder said yesterday that it wasn't worth preserving the MLP structure.
Kinder's reversal suggests that inside each huge master limited partnership "behemoth" is a corporation wanting to emerge, Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Gabe Moreen wrote today in a note to clients.
Graceful Exit'
"It provides a template for a somewhat graceful exit from a structure that can prove long-term unwieldy as an MLP grows," Moreen added. "We expect significant interest in potential MLP consolidation candidates."
Companies that are large enough to be publicly traded are generally prohibited from being taxed as partnerships under a 1987 law. Congress made exceptions for a handful of industries, including energy and natural resources, investing, and real estate. A different break, for real estate investment trusts, offers similar benefits.
Prisons and Fertilizer
Over time, companies from prison operators to fertilizer makers to document storage firms have sought to lower their tax bills using these breaks. Last month, telecommunications stocks rose after an Arkansas phone carrier, Windstream Holdings Inc., disclosed it got approval from the Internal Revenue Service to place some of its fiber and copper networks into a REIT, which doesn't pay corporate tax. A hedge fund is pressuring container-board makers including International Paper Co. to explore becoming MLPs.
The Joint Committee on Taxation, a nonpartisan arm of Congress, estimates that the MLP tax break for energy and mining companies will cost $6.3 billion in forgone revenue between the 2014 and 2018 federal fiscal years.
On the conference call today, Kinder said he wouldn't rule out the possibility of using the MLP structure again if conditions change.
"We would have the option to do that certainly in the future, if we want to do," he said. "That's not our present plan."

In many parts of our country, raccoons are considered to be dirty and violent. Much like the opossum, raccoons are severely misunderstood. While they should be removed from your yard like any other kind of pest, you should also learn to understand them. Understanding the wildlife in your yard is the first step to keeping it out, and also keeping it safe. If you want to know a little more about raccoons, read on.
The Facts
Raccoons are nocturnal. But that doesn't necessarily mean they don't like to go out during the day, and it doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong with them. Raccoons are omnivorous, so they like to hunt during the night and during the day, so they can have a full variety of options! They're excellent climbers, great swimmers, and have incredibly keen sense of hearing. Raccoons are not territorial, and they like to wander the forests with significant bodies of water. Raccoons create dens in hollow trees or rock crevices, or any kind of small and warm place they can find. While most have a lifespan of about 5 years, some can live to be up to 16 years old!
The Myths
There's a common believe that raccoons wash their food before eating it. It's not exactly washing, though; raccoons don't care if their food has touched the ground. They're mostly performing an innate motor function that comes from searching for seafood. Also, raccoons don't hibernate, contrary to popular belief. This comes from the fact that raccoons can survive in their dens during the winter for weeks without any kind of food. Many people believe that raccoons are the main carrier of rabies, but the truth is, there's never been a documented case where a raccoon has bitten a human. So, you shouldn't be afraid of them because of rabies. They certainly should be given their space, as they have sharp claws and teeth that could hurt you. But raccoons just want to find food and take care of their babies!
Have problems with racoons? Call Shumaker's Animal Control!
Shumaker's Animal Control has over 25 years of experience in the animal and pest control field. Whatever your problem, we can help remedy the situation and restore your home (or yard) back to normal.

Please see Council Fact Sheet in regards to changes to the Legislative requirements which came into force 1 October 2017. A Guide for Building Owners and Building Fire Safety Regulation Fact Sheet are also available from the State Government website.
Residential smoke alarms
Legislation requires all NSW residents must have at least one working smoke alarm installed on each level of their home. This includes owner occupied, rental properties, relocatable homes or any other residential building where people sleep.
Smoke alarms are already mandatory for all new buildings and in some instances when buildings are being renovated.
Smoke alarms are life-saving devices that provide benefits for occupants. They detect smoke well before any sleeping occupant would and provide critical seconds to implement actions to save life and property. Smoke alarms are designed to detect fire smoke and emit a loud and distinctive sound to alert occupants of potential danger.
What type of residential smoke alarm do I need?
You must install smoke alarms which comply with Australian Standard 3786 (AS3786). The standard should be clearly marked on the packaging.
If you previously installed smoke alarms prior to 1 May 2006 that do not comply with AS3786 they will be deemed to comply (providing that they are working and in the correct location).

ST. PAUL -- The race to be Minnesota's next governor has already cost more than $3.5 million and the five top candidates in the running have plenty of cash to spend before the Aug. 14 primary. The two Republicans and three Democrats hoping to make it to the November election have raised nearly $5 million this year, according to pre-primary campaign finance reports.
ST. PAUL—Minnesota continues to have among the nation's best scores on a biennial assessment of students' math and reading skills, but large gaps remain between students of color and their white classmates. Results from the 2017 National Assessment of Educational Progress, also called the Nation's Report Card, were released Tuesday, April 10. Every two years, more than half a million fourth- and eighth-graders from across the nation take the assessments.
ST. PAUL—They came to the Minnesota Capitol frustrated and angry. Many cried as they told their stories; some struggled to hold back sobs of grief. "I don't have politically correct words to say what I've seen," Corey Tanner told a Senate committee investigating the abuse of seniors and vulnerable adults. His mother, Mildred, was mistreated in a memory-care facility.
ST. PAUL — Minnesota's job market has improved to record levels for black residents although their jobless rate remains more than double the state average. The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, or DEED, released a jobs report Thursday, Jan., 18, that showed 7.5 percent of black Minnesotans were unemployed in December. That's the lowest jobless rate for black residents since the state began keeping records in 2001.
ST. PAUL — Gov. Mark Dayton's administration says its efforts to make state hiring and contracting more inclusive are paying off, but there is still a long way to go before all Minnesotans have equitable representation in the government workforce. Last year, state contracts awarded to businesses owned by people of color, women and veterans grew an average of 89 percent over 2015, an increase from $40 million to $75 million. While that's impressive growth, it represents a fraction of the roughly $2.5 billion Minnesota spends with contractors each year.
ST. PAUL—After dropping for a year, Minnesota students' scores on the ACT college entrance exam are on the rise, but future access to the test might be limited. Minnesota's composite ACT score rose four-tenths of a point to 21.5 in 2017, compared with a national average of 21. The state also had the highest score of the 17 states where every eligible student takes the exam. A perfect score is 36. ACT uses students' performance on the exam to judge their college readiness, and Minnesota students made gains in all four areas: English, reading, math and science.
ST. PAUL — Minnesotans who like to hunt and fish, drive a snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle or visit a state park can expect to pay more next year. The Legislature's environment and natural resources budget, which has the backing of Gov. Mark Dayton, includes about $23 million in fee increases. The measure passed the Senate with a 42-25 vote Sunday, May 21, and passed the House 83-51 shortly before 11 p.m. Under the proposal: • Resident fishing license increases by $3 to $25. • Resident deer hunting license rises $4 to $34.
ST. PAUL—Landowners are making good progress toward complying with Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton's signature water-quality law, leaving the governor firmly opposed to any legislative attempts to delay or revoke the new standards. "To delay or weaken it is not acceptable and not negotiable," Dayton said Thursday, March 16, at a news conference celebrating landowners' growing compliance with a law requiring vegetative buffers be installed between public waters and private lands by November. "I want to thank the many, many farmers who have participated in this endeavor."
ST. PAUL — Starting July 2, Sunday beer runs to Wisconsin and North Dakota will be a thing of the past for Minnesota residents. Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton signed a bill Tuesday that repeals the 159-year-old ban on the state's liquor stores operating on Sundays. For consumers, the repeal was a long time coming. Minnesota is one of a dozen states with so-called "blue laws" that ban liquor stores from operating on Sundays.
ST. PAUL—Champagne corks could soon be popping — a bill repealing Minnesota's 159-year-old ban on Sunday liquor store sales is headed to Gov. Mark Dayton. The Minnesota House voted 88-39 on Thursday to accept the Senate's version of a bill repealing the ban that's been on the books since statehood. Gov. Mark Dayton has said he will sign a repeal if it reached his desk.

Brock Lesnar on Potential Superfight with Jon Jones: 'Anytime, Anywhere'
A Brock Lesnar vs. Jon Jones superfight seems highly unlikely given the current circumstances, but in the era of Mayweather vs. McGregor, perhaps anything is possible.
The hypothetical bout recently became a hot topic when Jones addressed a showdown with Lesnar during a UFC Facebook chat this week.
"I would love to fight Brock Lesnar. He's a massive dude. It would be a massive draw, really big for the sport. It would be a great challenge; that's a big old boy," Jones said. "I doubt Brock Lesnar would take that fight, though. I definitely wouldn't try to wrestle with him the whole time. I'm not going to tell you what I would do."
Jones will return to the Octagon for the first time since April 2016 when he attempts to regain light heavyweight gold in a rematch with Daniel Cormier at UFC 214 on Saturday in Anaheim, Calif. He was supposed to face Cormier at UFC 200 last summer but was pulled from the card after testing positive for estrogen blockers in a pre-fight drug test.
Lesnar, meanwhile, competed on that same card, taking a unanimous decision over Mark Hunt in his first UFC appearance since December 2011. However, the former heavyweight champion tested positive for clomiphene in both an out-of-competition drug test and an in-competition test on the day of UFC 200. Like Jones, Lesnar was suspended for a year for the anti-doping violation, but the WWE star elected to inform the UFC of his retirement. As a result, Lesnar's suspension remains frozen until he re-enters the USADA drug testing pool.
There were recently rumors that Lesnar was in the process of doing exactly that, but UFC vice president of athlete health and performance Jeff Novitzky told MMAFighting.com that wasn't the case.
Still, Lesnar did seem open to a showdown with Jones should the opportunity arise.
"Would I fight Jon Jones? Anytime, anywhere," Lesnar told the Associated Press. "Right now he should be worried about 'DC' on Saturday night."

Wild Bill Reeves (Copper Kettle), who took the $30,000 Dubuque Classic Stakes, wrapped up the IBCs first round with a five-length decision. The 74 pounder, born May 18, 2013 out of Flying Coal City Kind Kelsey, moved to 22-10-1-5 on the campaign with the win.
Hilco Supersonic (Superior), fresh off a runner-up finish in the $30,000 Future Star Stakes, won the opening race in the first round. The 62-pounder, born Oct. 7, 2013 out of Kc And All Hilco V Star, went box-to-wire out of the five box to win by two and a half lengths. She had the first rounds best time of 30.68 seconds for the 5-16 mile course. Supersonic moved to 21-8-4-3.
Three other Superior Kennel greyhounds picked up victories.
Hilco Magnum, a littermate of Supersonics, pounded out a six-length win, the biggest margin of victory in the first round. Magnum is 24-12-2-0.

Does anybody know if 150 mg of trazodone would help with depression and anxiety too?
I take 150 mg of trazodone along with clonozapam to help me sleep?

Thanks, but do you think 150 mg is enough to help with depression and anxiety? I have heard you need like 400 mg to help with depression and anxiety and I know that I won't be able to take such a high dose but was hoping the 150 mg. would help. What do you think?
Actually, I have never had depression until recently and I know it is my job. I have so much anxiety at work and now I am getting depressed. I think it is linked to my job. Do you think 150mg of trazodone could help with anxiety or is it too small a dose?
Thanks for answering my question, I appreciate it.
Hi, 150mg is the starting dose. Doctors order increases from there depending on how the patient responds to the medication. How long have you been taking Trazodone?
I've been taking Trazodone for about 3 months now and it definately helps me sleep but I was hoping it would help with the anxiety too. I also take clonazepam and I was thinking that if Trazodone helps with anxiety then maybe I can try to taper off the clonozepam. I can't really tell if the Trazodone is helping with anxiety because I am taking clonozepam. Do you think I could taper off the clonozepam and see if the trazodone would help with the sleep as well as the anxiety?
With your doctor's consent you could try this, however, the 2 medications working in unison will likely be more effective to treat your depression & anxiety. Don't be concerned about taking a combination of medications, this is often the best way to treat mental illness. I take a combination myself

Home Federal Bancorp (HOME) in Nampa, Idaho, said Friday that it is closing four branches in Oregon as part of its ongoing effort to reduce overhead and improve efficiency.
The $1 billion-asset company said in a news release that the branches — two in Bend and one each in Medford and Grants Pass — would be closed be the end of February and that accounts would be shifted to nearby branches. Home Federal inherited the branches when it took over failed banks in Oregon in 2009 and 2010.
"With more clients utilizing electronic banking services it just makes sense to consolidate branches that are near one another," Len E. Williams, the company's president and chief executive said. He added that "many" of the affected employees would be given the opportunity to apply for other positions within the bank.
The moves are expected to reduce Home Federal's income in the fourth quarter by about $529,000, but ultimately lower expenses by $1.2 million a year. Through the first nine months of this year, Home Federal earned $1.6 million versus a loss of $3.3 million through the same period in 2011.
The branch closings would bring to 10 the number of branches Home Federal has shuttered since late last year. In September 2011 it said it was closing six branches in Oregon and Idaho as part of a broad restructuring that included the refinancing of debt and the shifting of its mortgage origination to a third party. Those moves were expected to save the company $3.6 million annually.

Access to Justice for Deaf Persons in Nunavut: Focus on Signed Languages
Executive Summary
In a recent court case (R. v. Suwarak; 1999) in Nunavut Territory, the issue of providing sign language interpretation consistent with sections 14 and 15(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the Charter) was raised. In the south, sign language interpretation using American Sign Language, ASL (for the English speaking community) and Langue des signes québécoise, LSQ, (for the French speaking community) are routinely provided by the courts to deaf persons who require it.
The issue that was confronted in this case was centred on the fact that the deaf man before the court did not know ASL nor LSQ. Consequently, no professional sign language interpreter could be provided. In addition, the deaf person had limited ability to speak, read or write. However, the deaf man did appear to have knowledge of a signing system which he apparently used with facility to communicate with people in his immediate environment. The current project was developed to determine how the Charter rights of a deaf person in this unique situation could be met. A further purpose was to obtain a preliminary estimate of the approximate number and characteristics of other persons who may be in a similar situation in Nunavut. An additional focus of the study was to provide a preliminary examination of the indigenous signing system which may be currently in use by deaf persons in Nunavut.
The methodology consisted of a telephone survey by a person who speaks Inuktitut and who has extensive experience in Nunavut. In addition, follow-up site visits were made by the principal contractor to three selected communities for the purpose of gaining information and background material on deafness and sign language, as well as for the purpose of recording actual sign language interactions on video-tape. The three communities chosen were Iqaluit, Pangnirtung and Rankin Inlet.
Based on the current study and on information from previous studies it is estimated that the prevalence of deafness (inner ear sensory-neural type) in Nunavut is 5.7/1000 of the population - which is five to six times greater than in the south Stamos-Destounis, 1993) . Based on the most recent estimates for the overall population of Nunavut of 27,039, it is estimated that the number of deaf persons is 155. A very preliminary estimate of the number who use some form of sign language other than ASL/LSQ is approximately 30%, or 47 for Nunavut Territory. It should be noted that the Nunavut Council for People with Disabilities (NCPD) has recently completed a survey of all disabilities including deafness (report of the Nunavut Council for People with Disabilities, 1999).
In terms of the status of the signed language(s) used by deaf persons in Nunavut, there is a strong indication that an indigenous form of sign language does exist. Observation and video recordings of sign language conversations in the three communities involving five deaf and approximately ten hearing users indicate that a very complex sign language system is used extensively. The sign system is clearly not ASL nor LSQ. Variations of ASL and forms of Manually Coded English (MCE) and fingerspelling of English were also noted. A preliminary analysis of various vocabulary items based on the linguistic corpus obtained suggests that expected dialectal variation exists between and within communities. However the underlying structure and visual-spatial-kinesthetic properties appear to be consistent with other signed languages and preliminary indications are that there is a high degree of mutual intelligibility among the various dialects noted.
In terms of narrative reports from family members, deaf people, and other interested stakeholders in the community, it seems clear that deaf people and the use of sign language are not stigmatized. Rather, a surprising number of hearing persons use the sign language. This appears to be in marked contrast to the situation that exists in the south where relatively few hearing people use sign language. It is hypothesized that signing is indigenous to the culture as a whole in the fashion that has been documented for many native peoples in North America and elsewhere.
From the point of view of the Charter issues which provided the stimulus for this study, it is apparent that the Nunavut deaf population uses a variety of signed languages - ranging from ASL, to Manually Coded English (MCE), fingerspelling of English and what appears to be an indigenous form of sign language.
The most pressing need now is to examine the feasibility of developing a court interpreter training program which addresses the linguistic situation of the deaf people of Nunavut. Preliminary indications suggest that the existing program at Arctic College could be expanded to include training in signed languages by drawing on the expertise of the relatively large number of hearing signers in Nunavut as well as the expertise of the deaf community itself.

Website content optimization is crucial for all written text, but it is particularly important for landing pages that include information about other content pieces.
Through content optimization, we are providing essential data that search engines will use to determine what your content — and, by extension, your business — is all about. Search engines then use this information in the search results they display for relevant keyword terms or phrases.
Title tags:One of the most important elements of website optimization is the title tag. In HTML code, the tag "(title)" is used to set off the page's title tag, which tells the audience what the page is about in just a few words.
Meta descriptions:Meta descriptions are typically displayed in search engine results pages (SERPs) as the descriptor text for each result, making it a key piece of information for your audience.
Meta keywords:Meta keywords are somewhat similar to meta descriptions. And although the meta keywords tag doesn't seem to directly help improve page rankings, they have been known to potentially hurt search engine rankings if the tag is "overstuffed."
URLs:A keyword-rich URL provides search engines with even more descriptive information about your content. So, in addition to optimizing content tags, your URL structure should be optimized to ensure that it is straightforward, meaningful, and contains the appropriate keywords that are relevant to your content. When appropriate, you may want to incorporate long-tail keywords into your URLs, so users seeking more specific results may find your content more easily in their searches.
As consumers frequently search for images, the visual content you display on your website also needs to be optimized for discovery. Not only are images included in specific "Image" searches on search engines, they can also appear in the main "Web" search results — if the search engine determines that your image is relevant to a particular search term or phrase. In fact, your images may appear on a SERP even when your other content pages don't.

To recognize all the fears a cancer diagnosis engenders ...
Fox Is, WA (PRWEB) January 18, 2016
Robert Lane, M.D.'s new book, CANCER'S BELL LAP AND THE DRAGON BEHIND THE DOOR – A HANDBOOK FOR SERIOUSLY ENGAGING CANCER, ($16.99, paperback, 9781498454162; $8.99, e-book, 9781498454179) guides cancer patients on how to win the battle in life in order to help the doctors and treatments win the war for your body. Dr. Lane stresses that overcoming cancer is more like a marathon than a sprint; it goes on long after surgery or the last chemotherapy. He believes that cancer not only attacks the body, but it also attacks the patient's life. Winning means beating it on both fronts. Doctors address the first, but the patient is on his or her own with the second. This book helps the cancer patient identify the obstacles and to overcome them - and guides others in how to help the patient do it. With an extensive medical background and compassion, Dr. Lane meticulously guides readers through the complex maze of frightening questions and concerns regarding cancer.
"I want readers to identify their own true goals and learn how to interact with doctors and make decisions respecting those goals," states the author. "To recognize all the fears a cancer diagnosis engenders and how they impact their relationships, alter self image, squelch ambition, defeat purpose, eradicate joy – and to learn how to overcome those fears, to grow and prosper in spite of them – to find purpose in passing on their wisdom to the next generation."
Robert Lane, M.D. is a Physician/Medical Oncologist who has cared for cancer patients for over 30 years. He played a leadership role in conceiving, implementing and directing Northwest Cancer Center (now Puget Sound Cancer Centers) in addition to Northwest Hospice and Seattle Breast Center. He has done clinical cancer research, lectured, and published – and has been a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Washington Medical School. He sat at the bedside, hugged and held more dying patients than most – and counts innumerable survivors as friends today – many of both groups were/are victorious.
Xulon Press, a division of Salem Media Group, is the world's largest Christian self-publisher, with more than 15,000 titles published to date. Retailers may order CANCER'S BELL LAP AND THE DRAGON BEHIND THE DOOR – A HANDBOOK FOR SERIOUSLY ENGAGING CANCER through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors. The book is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.

Regulators are investigating allegations that several London-based benchmarks used to price financial products could have been rigged, according to Martin Wheatley, the chief executive of Financial Conduct Authority.
Giving evidence to the Treasury Select Committee, Mr Wheatley revealed the City watchdog was looking at claims other major benchmark rates could have been rigged.
Mr Wheatley declined to give MPs details of the investigations, saying it could raise fears that certain market participants were "guilty until proven innocent".
"There are a number of benchmarks that operate in London that we're investigating because of concerns that have been raised with us," he said.
The FCA is looking at claims that global foreign exchange benchmarks used to set the value of trillions of pounds of investments have been manipulated by banks.
Mr Wheatley admitted that the allegations meant "people won't trust" foreign exchange rates and that any rigging could be "every bit as bad as they have been with Libor".
The inquiry is at an early stage and Mr Wheatley said it was unlikely the foreign exchange investigation would be completed by the end of this year, but added he was hopeful it could be concluded next year.
It also emerged that Lloyds Banking Group had suspended a senior foreign exchange dealer amid the ongoing investigation into currency manipulation.
Martin Chantree, a London-based employee of the bank, was on Tuesday suspended. Mr Chantree has not been accused of any wrongdoing, and is the first Lloyds staff members suspended since the foreign exchange investigation began. Mr Chantree was not available for comment.
In a statement, Lloyds said: "It is group policy not to comment on individual employees."
More than 15 foreign exchange traders have been suspended by various major international banks since the US and UK authorities began their investigation into the alleged manipulation of global currency markets.

If you have a great idea for a product or service, for a new or existing business, should you sit and develop your idea in isolation or get out there and see what's going on around you and talk to as many people as you can?
I know the product development process can be intoxicating, but be wary of making assumptions about what other people really need? I mean, how good are other people at judging what's best for you?
We love our own ideas and the more we think about an opportunity, the fortunes we are going to make, the more emotionally wrapped up in it we become; or should I say trapped. Trapped because, people fear rejection. They will often prefer to invest more and more time and money in an idea, rather than ask others for their opinion for fear of being told "it's rubbish".
Friends and family will be very supportive. The more enthusiastic you are about an idea, the more likely they will believe you 'must be right'; they will encourage you. They will avoid being negative towards you, they don't want to be the damp squib, that pours water on your idea. Unwittingly they may be reinforcing your desire to go down the wrong track.
You are probably clear about the benefits of your idea, you can picture how and why people will buy it. But will they? Are there other factors and options open to them? What is likely to encourage them to part with their money? What will they value most? A competitor may be more established, have greater insight, a proven track record, and a product that already works.
Recently a software App was being developed to help sole traders produce estimates and invoices quickly and easily, while out on-site. The idea was shared with a few people initially who thought sole-traders would love it; "it makes perfect sense". But when it was shown to potential customers, they nearly all said "great idea but my other-half does all the admin". Many of them didn't like using computers and typing up estimates. Luckily, only an early prototype had been developed, but the idea which seemed very logical, was flawed. This 'experiment' was a great learning process, before too much was invested. It was canned.
I use the word 'experiment' because that is exactly what it is. A new product idea is an experiment. Why? Because you don't know if it is going to be valued until it is tested.
What is initially developed shouldn't be considered the final product. Show various prototypes to potential customers, see how they respond; expect to develop many versions. Consider what resources are needed to invest in the prototype development and the ongoing business development; remember the product won't sell itself.
Initially develop the most basic product or service you can. Keep it simple. Don't add extra features, which is always tempting, until the basic product is right, and it creates value. Try and sell the basic product, what some call a minimum viable product, to see if people will actually part with their hard-earned cash.
The type of customer who buys may not be the customer you thought would buy. They may buy for completely different reasons from those you expected. They may respond differently to different pricing models and price levels. They may buy from different places. All valuable lessons.
Over committing emotionally to a specific idea is hazardous. Raising high expectations of friends and family is an unnecessary step; to start treat it as a new business experiment.
Be prepared to ditch the idea, fail quickly, if it doesn't prove worthwhile.
Keep an open mind; it's all about learning, learning, learning; before you can start 'earning'.
And don't sit on your own and think, get out there and talk to people.

Okay...that was fun.
Okay...that was fun.
February 22nd, 2009
Hello Joyce. I'm going to start off with the typical "How are you?"
Tired and busy
Why is that?
The Borneo's Global Issues Conference and U15 Forbissea's performances are coming up.
I know of the BGIC. It's some sort of mock-UN sort of student project or event, right? But what is the U15 Forbissea?
It's a sports event organized for athletes who are under 15. I'm performing in the opening.
Sounds like fun. So, I know it's a long while ago, but how was your CNY?
Nothing much. I went back to my hometown in Sibu. Though, it is the longest CNY I've ever spent in Sibu. 5 days.
Do you still keep in touch with any of the ex-CHMS?
Yes, but not often. I'm having a busy term. I see Tiong and Grace at church. Bebie, Choo Yee, Elena and Collie I meet on MSN.
You know this is going up on our class blog, right? Anything you wanna say to the class?
You guys gave me so many good memories, I really miss you guys. Wish you all the best in working for a better future together.
Aww, that's just like you to say that. Joyce, do you think you've changed at all since you graduated?
Yes. I became more mature and confident. I think the new environments do tend to change people. JIS is a great place.
It definitely is. You know, you always have been, and probably will always be, a happy and content sort of person. How do you do that? Any tips for us depressed people out there?
Me? I guess, you just need to be positive. I do get paranoid sometimes though.
Paranoid? About?
My face. My appearance.
So do we all. But, how do you overcome it?
I just don't think about it that much. Worrying doesn't help anything. I am just the way I am made. Besides, I believe it is inner beauty of self that really matters.
Well said! You're right.
Anyways, being happy makes you healthy.

Wayne, how have you been lately?
A bit stressed out with all the CNY thingy, tests and homeworks, and all that stuff.
Wanna elaborate on "CNY thingy"?
What is there to elaborate about? Fine, I'll summarize. CNY crashed with tests. Then going pai nian was like a war. Tiring but fun. Still tiring. Lol, dunno what I'm saying anymore.
So, seen anything interesting in the media lately? In a movie, a book?
Been reading a book written by an ex-FBI agent, about body language. It tells you how to notice emotions and thoughts that people try to hide. It's quite interesting.
On BBC, I saw a documentary about female-male attraction and the science behind it. According to the docu, men are attracted to women for their hour-glass body shape, coz it shows she is fertile. Of course, this is only for first impressions. For more complicated affections, that depends on social interactions and personality and flirting ability.
Is that true for you?
Kinda true.
And for women, they look for height in men because it shows they have good genes. I'm not showing off or anything ok? I'm pretty short compared to western guys.
Ok. Wayne, what do you think is unique about being you?
...I am not very good at academics, never got any gold medals in sports, don't have many gfs coz of my poor socializing skills...I'm just a typical person.
But I am what I am. I am unique in my looks, my style, my sound.
Actually, I can think of another thing that is unique about you. People seem to like kacau-ing you, maybe coz it's easy to get along with you? Did you ever notice that?
Sort of. It's kinda hard to be serious with you guys sometimes, even when seriousness is needed. People don't take me seriously, that is a problem for me. It's hard to make a point sometimes. I guess it's because I hide my uneasiness with jokes and a smile, hence you think I am not serious, but really I'm trying.
Uh huh, I get it. Lastly, anything you wanna add about your life?
I am a normal person. With average things happening to me. Wish that one day, it could be more, but for now, it's only normal.

People after they're through with each other operate just like parallel lines. They'll never see each other (cross) and therefore their lives will continue in the opposite but at the same time same direction, until death. The way I relate it is that one person has moved on but always has the other hovering around them somewhere deep in their mind.

Sermon Title: Basic Elements, Part 4: Serve
Main Text: Acts 2:42-47, Mark 16:20
- In Acts 2:42-47 we see what happened at the most embryonic stage of the church. At this point these people simply had the pure unadulterated gospel. This passage in the Bible explains what a community that shares the pure gospel looks like.
- One of the descriptions of this group, is that it says that there was an awe of God on all of them. God was working in their midst. It was plain and evident. There was an awe of His power surging through their community.
- Evidence of this powerful work of God is the wonders and signs that the apostles were doing. People were being healed through the apostles. Jesus prepared us for this special work of these men. In Mark 16:20 it explains why God chose to work like this:
- "And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by accompanying signs."
- God uniquely worked miracles through the apostles so that people would know that their message was from God.
- Scriptures like this may raise some questions:
- Miracles are hard to believe. Do you really believe that kind of thing happened? If someone does not believe in God, it is understandable that they would see miracles as illogical. However, if someone does believe in God, then miracles are a rational possibility, whether or not we have witnessed them ourselves. If there is an all-powerful being, then logically He can do supernatural things in this world if He wants. In fact it is logically inconsistent to believe in God and NOT believe in the possibility of miracles.
- Should we expect to see miracles in our church? We can absolutely expect to see God move in powerful and even miraculous ways. And we have seen God do incredible things in people's lives. However, these passages also seem to indicate that this was a particular work through the apostles for a specific reason. God would speak through and direct the future of the church through these men. So he worked miraculous signs through them as a way for the church to know their words were from God. So while we should expect God to do the miraculous in our midst, it will look different than how God worked through the apostles.
- This awe they had over what God was doing in their midst was part of what drove them to do things like share their lives together and take care of the needy.
- This kind of awe is something that we can and should have too. God may not be working in the same way as He worked through the apostles, but that does not mean that He is working any less in our midst.
- We tend to only attribute the supernatural to God. But God is at work through both the natural and the supernatural. He owns both. In fact He loves to work through natural means, He created it. We can celebrate both the natural and supernatural in our midst. Both should bring us to an awe of God.
- We should have no skepticism over the supernatural, and no disregard for the natural.
- Awe for how God is at work in our midst draws us together. It compels us to share our lives and be a part of what God is doing. When we see what God is doing, the awe that inspires is so irresistible that we want to be a part of it.
- This brings us to the question: am I a part of what God is doing? If not, I am missing out!
Key Questions:
- What stuck out to you?
- Why is it that when something exciting is going on, we naturally want to be a part of it?
- Can anyone share a season where they felt a strong sense of fulfillment serving in a church context?
- Read Acts 2:42-47.
- Of the all victories that were discussed at the weekend services, which one brought you the most awe/excitement/joy?
- When there is a victory at church, it is a victory that belongs to all of us. Why do we tend to miss the fact that the victories God does at church are things he's done through us and not simply the church leadership?
- What are common hesitations people have to serving at church?
- Of all the hesitations to serve, which usually trips you up the most?
- What does someone miss out on if they just attend church and doesn't serve?
- How is it that there can be a sense of fulfillment even in a task that you would not naturally enjoy doing?
- How do we keep that perspective?
- Is anyone considering jumping in and serving in a new way?
Don't forget to post your attendance after group.

Toshiba, Hitachi and Sony have announced a plan to merge their operations in small and medium-sized displays.
A fourth partner, government-backed investment fund Innovation Network Corp of Japan (INCJ), will invest 200 billion yen (£1.6bn) in the new company, to be named Japan Display, and hold 70 per cent of the voting shares. Toshiba, Sony and Hitachi will each have a 10 per cent stake.
INCJ, which is 90 per cent owned by the Japanese government, was set up in June 2009 to promote innovation and develop a competitive edge in Japanese industry.
The three electronics giants will transfer the assets of their respective subsidiaries Hitachi Displays Ltd, Toshiba Mobile Display Co and Sony Mobile Display Corp into the new company, with completion expected by March 2012.
There are plans to list Japan Display by the 2015 fiscal year ending March 2016. By then HDL, TMDC and SMDC hope to increase combined sales revenue from a projected 570 billion yen in 2011 to 750 billion yen in 2015.
Japan Display will be the world's largest producer of small panels used in smartphones and tablet personal computers.
According to research company DisplaySearch, Toshiba, Hitachi and Sony had a combined 21.5 per cent market share of the small and medium-sized panels in 2010 while Sharp had 14.8 per cent and Samsung Electronics 11.9 per cent.
The global market for such panels is projected to grow at the rate of 21 per cent from 2010 to 2015 with revenue jumping from US$18.8bn to $49.4bn due to increasing demand from smartphones and tablet computers.
A Hitachi official, Sho Sato, told E&T that the merger is needed for the Japanese companies to survive and compete in the increasingly tough global market.
Sho noted that the merger had been in the pipeline for some time as Toshiba, Sony and Hitachi were making losses on small panels until 2010.
The three companies were initially reluctant to fork out investments for new lines, while Hitachi had planned to move out completely from the volatile panel business to concentrate on infrastructure operations.
To stay ahead of the competition, Japan Display aims to invest in R&D to develop new products to meet market demand.
